For Kali, the threat from Sefu has been replaced with a far bigger threat from the black-maned males. Will she never stop living in fear? Duma is growing up fast, but when he tries to take on the vultures, he ends up alone and lost. With Kali roaming nearby, it’s a dangerous time to be without his mother.

Bakari struggles to exert his power over the intruder males. He tries to calm things down by taking his troop on a gazelle hunt, but when he fails to catch Tamu, his position in the troop starts to look precarious. He comes up with a plan to steal from Aiysha and her cubs, but will it be enough to win back his throne?

Duma is still searching for his family, but instead is found by a group of male cheetahs. He tries to join their gang but is too young to be accepted. Once again, he is lost and alone, facing many dangers. Unable to catch food by himself, his only hope is to find his family.

When Zalika finally finds a way to reunite her clan, she has the power to take revenge on Kali. But Askari, the black-maned male, is more powerful than ever and comes to Kali’s rescue. Why has he suddenly become her ally? Tamu and his mother are in constant danger, not least from the black-maned lions. But when the unthinkable happens, is Tamu brave enough to defend himself against so many predators?

The great herds are gathering, and Shani’s foal and Gnu are growing up. It’s time to visit the huge river for the first time. Excitement aside, there are dangers lurking beneath the surface, just when everyone is desperate to quench their thirst.
